Steel Cut Oats

Haven't you heard that Bob's™ has the best oatmeal in the world? It's true - this variety of oats took home the winning trophy at both the 2009 and 2016 Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship in Carrbridge, Scotland and is now known as World Champion Oatmeal. It makes a delightful, full-bodied hot cereal with an appealing texture.

Details

Steel Cut Oats are simply whole oat groats that have been cut into neat little pieces on a steel buhr mill. We use high protein, whole grain oats that have been lightly toasted to create our hearty steel cut oats. Also known as Irish oats or pinhead oats, steel cut oats create a chewy, full-bodied hot cereal.

Steel Cut Oats have always been a universal customer favorite at Bob's Red Mill. Their robust oat flavor, texture and ease of preparation plus proven nutritious benefits and cholesterol reduction make them a perfect breakfast. A few years back we learned of the World Championship Porridge Competition in Scotland called the “Golden Spurtle.” At that point we had yet to discover the spurtle, a centuries-old Scottish wooden porridge stirring implement.

The Bob's Red Mill team traveled to Carrbridge, Scotland to compete in the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Championship. We competed against fourteen other teams from around the globe. Our team's belief in our porridge skills and our consistently superior oats never wavered. That crisp October morning all teams paraded through town behind a bagpipe band. After three heats of competition, we remained one of five finalists. All five finalists prepared their traditional recipe (oats, salt and water) for the judges. Finally, the announcement: “Bob's Red Mill, is the new Golden Spurtle World Porridge Champion.”

The Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats we knew to be superior were now proven the “WORLD'S BEST”. The simple, winning recipe using oats, salt and water is on our package so you can make the World's Best Oatmeal at home.

We had so much fun at the Golden Spurtle, that we began The Spar for the Spurtle: the ultimate oatmeal throw down so we could share the fun with our customers. Spar for the Spurtle asks customers to submit their recipes using steel cut oats for a chance to win a trip to Scotland to compete in the Golden Spurtle Championship on our behalf. Learn more about this fun competition at www.sparforthespurtle.com and throw your hat in the ring!

60 Reviews For "Steel Cut Oats"

The flavor and texture are fantastic. Best breakfast choice.

by Mama K on 02 Tue,2016

About a year ago, someone suggested eating steel cut oats as a nutritious and filling breakfast - and they were right. To my amazement, the taste was fantastic. Unlike any oats I've tried. I make the traditional, slow recipe and add a few raisins right at the end. Perfect! Nice 'bite' and nutty flavor. I've tried other steel cut oats but the texture wasn't as good. Now, the health benefits are secondary. This is my favorite go-to breakfast. I make several days worth at a time and store it in the refrigerator. My entire family thinks the oats are a breakfast treat.

I have never liked oatmeal....until today! I slowly simmered mine for 30 minutes for a perfect creamy consistency. It was spectacular! I ate it with a tiny pat of butter, splash tablespoon of whole milk, and 2 teaspoons cane sugar. It was so good. Nice and hearty. I noticed they have an organic version, so, I will definitely try that once this runs out. I am slowly working on being dairy free, vegetarian and low fat. I am so glad to find this whole grain resource. Keep up the good work!

Using this food as the basis of my diet (breakfast and dinner), I went from being 185lbs/24% body fat down to 140lbs/8% body fat over the course of about 8 months. The recipe changes often for me, but lately I just cook the oats on the stove with hemp hearts and add salt. Love that crunch!

Recently while staying out of town and having breakfast at our hotel I had the opportunity to try Bob's Red Mill steel cut outs. They are fabulous! When we got home from our trip I purchased a bag for home. I am not sure I could eat any other brand of oatmeal again. Thank you so much for such a great product!

I usually purchase steel cut oats at the local grocery and discount stores. However, those sold in the grocery stores are so very expensive and the discount stores can't always keep them in stock. I'll be purchasing directly from Bob's in the future. Thanks so much for the world's best steel cut oats and terrific pricing!!!

This is not your mom's squishy mush!

by Moonblue54 on 09 Wed,2011

All my life I've been gagging on what I thought was oatmeal! Hated it, but I choked it down for the health benefits. THIS is the real deal! No gagging! I threw some walnuts and flax seed meal in, added my French Vanilla International Coffee creamer (that's just a personal preference, but oh so delish), and went to town! No mushy mess here!

Great raw!

I love the steel cut oats cooked and mixed with fresh fruit. When in a hurry I don't skip out on my favorite oats, but instead eat them raw! Mixed with fruit, nuts, Bob's Red Mill flaxseed and some almond milk it is delicious. The cool thing is I do not get hungry for hours, well into my lunch hour. Love the quality product.

I eat them RAW!!

by Spinning mom on 05 Sun,2011

I actually eat these raw with juice or milk(I use almond milk)just like a regular bowl of cereal. It is very satisfying-especially because of all the chewing. Often I will smash a banana through them and/or some peanut butter, and add no liquid at all. It makes a granola texture and flavor.

I recently discovered steel cut oats and I have got to say that I LOVE them! The store had several brands to choose from, so I tried Bob's, as I had previous good luck with thie brand. I was not disappointed. I like mine with a bit of brown sugar and a banana on top, but after reading the comments from others, I can hardly wait to try other ways! I am singing the praises of steel cut oats!

Recently when my usual source wasn't getting Irish steel-cut oats, I switched to yours. WOW! So much better in taste and texture, you have me for life! Steel-cut oats has been my breakfast for decades. I usually set it up the night before (1C water to 1/4C steel-cut oats), cover, set aside, and it cooks beautifully on the stove next morning while I'm getting dressed. Special treat on weekends?

Awesome breakfast choice

by hollybick on 01 Fri,2011

I love this product. I have been cooking 1 cup of the oats with 4 cups of silk vanilla soy milk light in a crock pot. Easy to reheat in microwave throughout the week. I also like to add apple or banana slices with a little bit of maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon). I found it is also more flavorful than the store brand oats I used to buy.

My favorite breakfast

by Busy mom on 09 Thu,2010

I just switched from Old Fashion to Steel-Cut oatmeal. I love the texture. Oatmeal has become our main breakfast and my pantry has an official "oatmeal bar". Always on hand I have air-tight containers that have dried cranberries, sliver toasted almonds, dry toasted pecan pieces and brown sugar. (If we have fresh apples, peaches or strawberries, I'll use them for a treat - cut into small pieces.)|

It's Not Just For Breakfast

by Mealy Puddin' on 09 Sat,2010

Steel cut oats aren't just for breakfast. They're a staple in Scotland and make a delicious and satisfying side dish known as Skirlie. Just saute in a little oil with onions and add just enough stock (or water) to slightly moisten. This becomes a pilaf-like, chewy side that is wonderful. If you like spicier foods, add cajun seasonings or whatever you like.

Our favorite oatmeal, hands down

by Lucky wife on 09 Wed,2010

I had my husband pegged for an instant oatmeal type of guy, (he operates pretty last-minute a lot of time), but was shocked to find he'll willingly get out of bed 30 minutes early several times a week to make Bob's steel cut oats instead. He's got such a taste for "the good stuff", that he won't even touch the instant brands. It's so amazing to wake up to a pot of hot steel cuts on the stove!
